Tots Cabin of Braeloch

Welcome to Tots! A four-bedroom century old cabin that was completely rebuilt in 2011 with every modern convenience that is located init's own private cove on Lake Champlain.

The house has four bedrooms (2Q, 1F, 2T) and two bathrooms. The living room is open to the kitchen & has twin french doors open to our oversized screen porch with epic water views. The screen porch opens onto our 600 SF sun deck that looks out over Tots Cove a very private sandy beach cove on the north side of Mallets Bay.

The property's beach is completely sandy with great deep water swimming that is accessed via 12' x 50' of pebble mats we have established as a channel to counter silt and clay bottom that is a feature of our shallow cove. Fishing is excellent and we have two kayaks for your use. We have a deep water floating dock for your boat and swimming pleasure but you must swim or paddle to it.

The house is a small single-story ranch that was completely reconstructed in 2011. Wood burning fireplace in the living room and great breezes throughout with dozens of windows and great views of Lake Champlain. Tons of outdoor space and most families eat out on the screen porch and play games. We do not have television but you can stream via our high-speed xfinity wifi that is available throughout the cabin.

Two queen bedrooms are large and solid pine top to bottom including the walls with beautiful large windows that overlook the water and enjoy amazing breezes. The kids room is also big with regular twin sized beds and terrific windows that do not get morning light making them terrific places to sleep-in or to take a nap. The "in-laws" full bedroom is tiny and not particularly comfortable; it was our great-granny Tot's bedroom. The best feature besides the porch is the sun deck which is 600 SF and gets great morning sun and all afternoon.

The kitchen is very modern with farm sink, dishwasher, and a cooking island. It has loads of cooking pots and utensils. The screen porch is the heart of the house. In summer months the french doors are left open 24/7 and the breezes off the water are indelible. The dining table on the screen porch is where we eat and it seats 8 comfortably. For lunch and breakfast we have chairs all around the property with tables for you to enjoy coffee overlooking the meadow (we have a resident bald eagle that likes to scan the meadow in the mornings). There is a small frog pond next to the house.

Tennis court is available to use and we have a basketball court too that are community provided but you have full use of them on a first come basis.

The house is at the edge of an unused 15 acre meadow. The entire area is for you to explore so long as you respect people's property line but there is over 300 acres of land and yet we are only 20 minutes from downtown Burlington VT.

Tot's Cabin
Wonderful and unique property. Set in the woods overlooking the lake next to an open pasture with a classic country tennis court and sport court basketball court. Houses nearby off Vermont gravel road. Fun to see others occasionally walking dogs or playing with their kids in sport court but basically it is your private Champlain beautiful cabin in the woods. Great staircase down to Lake -52 pretty easy steps onto lake beach for skimming rocks and playing and kayaks to get out on lake. As advertised waters edge grassy so we swam at nearby Sandbar State Park which has nice sandy bottom and big lake with mountains vistas in every direction. Also nice kids playground at that beach park. If you bike at all don't miss Island Line Bike trail and use ferry to cross lake and order slices of Allenholm Farms flaky fresh from orchard allple pie withaple vanilla ice cream. Also pick up some of their Apple Taffy. Good burgers and burritos too all within a couple easy miles of bike path on South Hero Island.

Intergenerational Lake Champlain getaway
Really loved the coziness of this rustic cabin, exactly what we were looking for to decompress. Great combination of indoor/outdoor living on a quiet road with a very private cove. Enjoyed the use of the kyaks for swimming and paddling out for the sunset as well as the fireplace (which we used even in July). Description and pictures were accurate and host responsive. Good selection of spices and condiments to start with as well as abundant towels and firewood. Hope to return!

Perfect, beautiful view!
Our stay at the Tots Cabin of Braeloch was nothing short of wonderful. My son and daughter enjoyed the large outside deck, equipped with comfortable hammocks, chairs, and a gorgeous view of Lake Champlain. We cooked our own food in the spacious kitchen, which was equipped with dozens of utensils and tools to assist, before enjoying dining in the adjacent covered porch. I took advantage of the gas grill several times and was pleased that there were plenty of grilling tools available. The cabin has plenty of bedrooms, all very comfortable. While not air conditioned, each room is equipped with multiple fans for circulation and cooling. Conveniently, the hosts provided a fully-stocked water-cooler. While researching VRBO properties, one of our key requirements was “two bathrooms.” This cabin has this, including a large, modern shower in one of the two bathrooms. The style is a little incongruous with the rustic cabin but it’s a REALLY nice shower – nicer than I’ve seen even in upscale hotels. The cabin is well-loaded with books, games, puzzles and a SmartTV that provides access to all major streaming services. There’s also a shared tennis court about two minutes’ walk away, where my son and I learned (using the cabin’s provided rackets and balls) that neither of us have any tennis-related skills. All in all, we had a delightful stay, and I highly recommend Tots Cabin of Braeloch to anyone visiting the area.

Great house in a great location
Tots Cabin is the perfect combination of lake side house with modern conveniences. The screened in porch overlooking the lake with a table for 8 meant we ate every meal outside; even in the rain. The location of the house was both private and part of a community. There is a private beach and the kayaks were great and easy to use. In addition, Brian and Johnny were extremely responsive to our few requests. We will definitely consider staying there again if we vacation in the Burlington area.

It was great having a wood-burning fireplace in the cool evenings and to be able to look out at the lake. Johnny Walker was very responsive the one time we called for a small matter. The house was well-equipped, too.

Tots cabin is rustic but lovely and the property and view are incredible! I highly recommend this beautiful and tranquil location if you're looking for a cozy get away. We had a lovely family and friends gathering for dinner and celebration after my sons graduation from SMC. Everyone loved the cabin and views, we had a delightful time and will return sometime in the future.
